Yes, you will have to do that, Geir. And the bad news is: the main bolt
is - as I understand it - glued inside the fuselage and you will need
to heat it for removal.

| Subject: | Re: 3 leaf tail spring. Bolt size |
Depending on how the original builder built the plane, this bolt may
or may not be glued in place. In building mine I glued (structural
adhesive...Hysol 9460) the bolt in place, and when I needed to remove
it for the thicker spring/longer bolt, it was a simple matter to
shield the fabric with a metal plate with a hole drilled in it, then
heat the bolt on the threads. The heat will travel up the bolt,
soften the adhesive and allow the bolt to be pushed up into the
fuselage. I have an inspection hole nearby to facilitate work done in
this area. If you don't have this hole, I think you'll have to remove
the hort. stab to reach the area....maybe not.

Geir,
I changed mine to a 3 leaf recently and used the existing 5/16" bolt without an
issue. As long ass you got close to 1/4" extra bolt you should be ok. I had
a spacer between the fuselage and the old spring and I removed it.
The 7/16 bolt on tailwheel will likely be too short as it now goes through 2 leaves
rather than one. I took off the washer and used it anyhow but the bolt is
not through the self locking nut far enough. Thanks for the reminder to replace
it before it falls off :)

Looks like it is 9VG in Weirwood, VA northeast of Norfolk, on the 050
radial of the Cape Charles (CCV) VOR.

| Subject: | Re: 3 leaf tail spring. Bolt size |
I built the plane, and i made a inspection hole close to the tail spring
bolt. I did not glue the bolt in place, only used mastinox on it (anti
corrosive). So it is no problem to remove and get access to the bolt.
Thanks for the tips.

Does anyone on the board have experience with the Rotax external alternator
and the 912S/Model 7 combination? I'm nearing the completion of Kitfox 7 and
will need more electrical power than is available with the internal
alternator. I'm wondering if the alternator will fit under the cowl.
Thanks for the help,
Chris

Hi Leonard,
I was so desparate to see your video I watched it on someone elses pc this
weekend (smile), so I don't need you to burn a DVD. Nice video. Does a
good job showing where the full lotus floats are really nice to have. That
little 582 Kitfox also looks to perform pretty good from what I could tell
by your video.
You'd like the 912.
